Jack Axe Games

What to expect as a spectator: onlookers can watch as competitors smash railroad ties with sledge hammers, hurdle walls, and battle their way around the CrossFit-inspired obstacle course. Throughout their visit, spectators can also enjoy the on-site festival, complete with scavenger hunts, food vendors, and games.

What to expect as a competitor: Individuals will compete on Saturday, with the top male and female participants earning a $1,000 prize; teams of five, meanwhile, will compete on Sunday for the same prize. Competitors can expect an outdoor course riddled with obstacles, including a water slide at the finish line.

About the concert: Drake Bell, star of Nickelodeon’s hit show Drake and Josh, will headline the Saturday-afternoon performance, which will also feature Olivia Dvorak, Lava Rock, Lindsay Kent, Justin Ruff, and others.
